College Football Bowl Game Thread

Alabama gets at least 9 yards every play.

I hate the gold 1st and 10 sign.

 

[johnmd20]

Lol. This is just insulting.

Now they are just piling on with crazy plays.

 

[staz]

That was insane.

 

[cshea]

Lol holy shit

 

[BaseballJones]

Holy crap Harris

 

[johnmd20]

Holy cow, this is not even funny. I feel bad for Notre Dame. They are getting embarrassed. He was open in the end zone, in the red zone, by 10 yards.

 

[cshea]

97 yards in what, 5 plays?

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

That was insane.

There's your signature moment for the Championship Pre-Game package.

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

How long will the Bama/ND game be "competitive"? Midway through 2nd quarter or all the way to halftime?

I think you just got your answer. What else is on?

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

This is horrible.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Can we make a rule that Notre Dame isn’t allowed in playoff games? They always get their asses kicked.

If you’re a three touchdown dog in the playoff, dude, you shouldn’t be in the playoff.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

LOL, can we sub out the Irish for some other team after the 1st quarter?

[SemperFidelisSox]

This is worse than the potato famine.

 

[54thMA]

Maybe the first quarter. Maybe. It could be 21-0 at the end of the 1st.

This is looking pretty solid...........

 

[cshea]

ESPN has Alabama’s win probability at 92%. That feels low.

 

[johnmd20]

The talent level is not equitable.

 

[JCizzle]

Hopefully OSU has a bit more fight to them. A competitive half would be nice.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

ND should have scored on that

 

[McBride11]

Does Bama put the backups in before half?

 

[ArmyBoSoxFan]

To be fair who was really going to be competitive in this game against Alabama? A&M that already lost by 28, Cincy that lost to Georgia today? This was all really a formality for Alabama vs. Clemson again.

 

[koufax32]

Was hoping to watch Jones have to work for it and see what he has. Guess we’ll have to wait for the Clemson rematch.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

ND o line looks good. The rest of them don’t belong on the same field as Bama.

 

[BaseballJones]

If ND can punch this in and somehow stop Alabama on their next drive, this at least could be kinda sorta interesting, at least for a little bit.

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

For those with access to ESPNU, the skycam feed with no announcers is pretty good.

The RB (Williams) seems like he does. He's good.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

ND D has to get off the field a few times

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Looked like a broken leg.

 

[luckiestman]

They need turnovers or Bama errors. I don’t think they can stop them three plays in a row without getting lucky.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

For those with access to ESPNU, the skycam feed with no announcers is pretty good.

If someone was able to record this feed in a file format that you could send to me somehow, either for the Clemson game and/or the title game next week, I'd be very grateful. (Very useful for commentary purposes.)

 

[Old Fart Tree]

I thought that was a TD.

 

[johnmd20]

Close, hard to overturn, need to see the other angle.

 

[luckiestman]

Can’t see the ball, seems short

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Can’t overturn that

 

[johnmd20]

Seriously, though, just give them the TD so this game is a little more watchable.

 

[luckiestman]

Grainy replay looks like td

 

[JCizzle]

I think that's a TD, just fucking give it to them so it's somewhat close

 

[mauf]

We rip officials a good bit, but kudos to the official there for getting the call right. Probably not enough video evidence to overrule a TD call on the field, but it sure looked like he was down short.

 

[luckiestman]

This line is dominant.

 

[mauf]

Stand-up play by the ND O-Line on 4th and goal.

 

[mauf]

This line is dominant.

I was tremendously impressed by their execution on the big screen play earlier in the drive. The downfield blocks were on point, but the way they sold the initial pass block before slipping behind the D-line was sublime. Just great technique.

 

[cshea]

Has Alabama faxed a 3rd down yet? Just the 3rd and 1 Jones sneaked on?

 

[JCizzle]

Alabama's offense might as well be playing against air out there. So easy for them

 

[cshea]

Also, is this Smith kid in range for the Pats to pick? My goodness.

 

[shawnrbu]

Maybe put two guys on 6?

 

[luckiestman]

ND needs to play with 8 DBs on the field

 

[jon abbey]

Alabama’s first 3 drives: 260 yards on 18 plays, 3 TDs.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Haters gonna hate.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

260 yards on 18 plays. That's a healthy 14.4 yards per play for Alabama.

 

[jon abbey]

And only four second downs.
